God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be so he put his arms around you and whispered, Come to Me . With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away and although we love you dearly we could not make you stay. A Golden heart stopped beating hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
